Verse 1:
Just give me a s[E]econd, darling, to [G#m]clear my head[E][G#m]
Just put [E]down those scissors, [G#m]baby, on the single [E]bed[G#m]
The [E]sand in the hour glass [G#m]is running low
I came through [E]thunder, the cold, wind, the [G#m]rain and the snow
To [A]find you awake by your window sill
A s[G#m]ight for sore eyes, and a [F#m]view to kill
Interlude:

[E] [G#m] [E] [G#m] [A] [A] [G#m]
[F#m]
Verse 2:
I [E]broke down in horror at [G#m]you standing there
Th[E]e glow from the moon sho[G#m]ne through cracks in your hair
I [E]shouted with passion ? I[G#m] love you so much?
Bu[E]t feeling my skin, it wa[G#m]s cold to the touch
Yo[A]u whispered where are you?
I [A]questioned your doubt
Bu[G#m]t soon realised you were [F#m]talking to God now
Pre-Chorus - E... play an open E chord once with heavy distortion, then turn distortion
and back to clean once verse has started.
Chorus:
--(No guitar but u can play the bass notes)--
[A]You got blood your hands[B]
And I know it?s m[C#m]ine
I just need more time
So [A]get of your low, let?s [F#m]dance like we used to[C#m]
But there?s a [A]light in the dis[B]tance, waiting for[C#m] me
I will wait for you
So [A]get of your low, let?s [F#m]kiss like we used to[C#m]
Interlude (whammy again):
[E] [G#m] [E] [G#m] [A] [A] [G#m]
[F#m]
Verse 3:
I [E]looked in the mirror, bu[G#m]t something was wrong
I [E]saw you behind, but my r[G#m]eflection was gone
There was s[E]moke in the fireplace as[G#m] white as the snow
A [E]voice then come gently ?[G#m]It?s your time to go?
Th[A]at record you played, as you [A]beg for forgiveness
?Don?t [G#m]touch me? I screamed
I?ve go[F#m]t unfinished business
Pre Chorus - E... play an open E chord once with distortion, then turn distortion off
back to clean once verse has started.
Chorus:
[A]You got blood your hands[B]
